Tour Highlights
Modhera and Patan day trip begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel in Ahmedabad. As we leave the city behind, enjoy the scenic countryside drive, passing through charming villages and farmlands that showcase the rural beauty of Gujarat.
Our first stop is the awe-inspiring Sun Temple of Modhera, dedicated to the Sun God, Surya. Built in the early 11th century by King Bhima I of the Solanki dynasty, the temple is an architectural marvel with its intricately carved pillars, the beautifully designed Sabha Mandap (assembly hall), and the sacred Surya Kund (stepwell). Here, you’ll learn about the temple’s alignment with the equinox and its significance in Hindu mythology, making it a must-visit heritage site in Gujarat.
After exploring Modhera, we continue our journey to Patan, an ancient fortified town that was once the capital of Gujarat. The highlight here is Rani ki Vav, an intricately constructed stepwell built in the 11th century as a memorial to King Bhima I. Recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, the stepwell features over 500 carved sculptures depicting Hindu deities, mythological scenes, and celestial beings.
While in Patan, you will also get the chance to witness the exquisite art of Patola Silk Weaving, a centuries-old craft unique to the region. Watch local artisans at work, hand-weaving colourful geometric patterns with precision – a process that can take months for a single saree.
After a day filled with cultural exploration and historical wonders, we drive back to Ahmedabad. You will be dropped at your hotel in the evening, concluding your full-day Modhera and Patan tour with beautiful memories and photographs.
